[Albion] Neal Maupay...SIGNED FOR EVERTON.

[Gabbafella]

Great finish though. All 3 of our goals were superb.

Totally agree, all three were brilliantly taken. So happy we've beaten a team around us and put some space between us and relegation. Tough games coming up but if we keep playing the way we do then we'll pick up points.

Neal Maupay...What Does He Actually Do?

Currently giving a very fair and honest interview on Sky including accepting his form has been poor. Let's hope this will boost his and the team's confidence.

Bloody impressive defending impressed you the most tonight, didn’t it?

I like Maupay - he is not quick but keeps going and is a nuisance. A good job we have him as he looks like giving us another 10 goal season which no one else will.

 

[Swansman]

Yep. He’s finally done what he’s paid for in a game that was pretty much won. Still needs to show much more.

Is Maupay gonna be the new Ashley Barnes? His poor goal return being lauded every time he scores 1 goal in too many games?

:schelotto:

Yes - they were under pressure throughout [emoji6]

The biggest change defensively is having a decent goalie

Forget the goal, look at his all round performance tonight, quality.

 

[prawnsarnies]

Works really hard for the team, does all the dirty work, pleased for him tonight.

 

[Sheebo]

Does an awful lot. Saw people flying off the handle at him for the defender blocking a first time shot The way I see Maupay - he’s a good premier league player who’s good enough on the whole. But not a good premier league ‘striker’ - if you get what I mean.

I disagree. He doesn't lack the ability whatsoever. It's all confidence with Neal.

Great finish tonight.

He does a job for us without doubt and he’s important to us because of a lack of alternatives, but personally I think he’s a weak link technically in an otherwise technically excellent side.

I think Welbeck is a much better player.

He's vey good, not great, but as good, if not better, than most of the bottom half teams have.

If we had a 20 goal striker we'd be top 10.

Nail and head.

His play outside the box is a lot better than in it.

Pleased for him. Works hard every game without reward.

We’d probably be top 6...

Turns out the answer was indeed absolutely nothing.

The stats on Maupay tell you everything you need to know , excellent in the championship on a chance to goal ratio, and pretty dismal in the Premier League on the same scale .

We were absolutely correct in signing Neal because he showed great promise , sadly at this level he's not quite the finished article or perhaps never will be .

The step up has caught out many a player so Maupay isn't the first and certainly won't be the last player to find the step a step to far .

I would like to add I hope he actually rams my post straight down my throat and finds that bit extra that's required to turn it around and start taking the gilt edged chances he now misses into goals galore .

Football fans have short memories when a player performs well and very long ones when they underperform, Maupay is a player that divides opinion , I don't know him personally but he seems to get exasperated with himself and takes any criticism very personally, he's just human we all take criticism differently, the line between abuse and constructive criticism is very clear to me but not everyone can tell where the line is .

I hope Neal when he reads NSC today which he will by the way , understands no true Brighton and Hove Albion supporter is actually abusing him , but as fans at times we all get frustrated watching a game and the frustration pours out onto the page .

I doubt and would hope it's not personal and if it is then it's not the players fault it's the person spewing the Mr Angry drivel .

I think dismal is a bit extreme, 10 goals in his debut PL season and still on course to get that again.

But I largely agree. It’s a lot of pressure for him to carry the entire burden of goal scoring with our team. I still think there’s space for him in the squad. But we absolutely need alternatives. Competition is obviously good, but as well as that we need a different option up front some times. I would like to see us sign a physical target man type, or someone with blistering pace.

Sometimes in football you have to be really harsh despite how much you want to see a player do well, Maupay is simply not good enough for this level if we want to go further as a club, nor are any of our strikers.

That being said our strikers weren’t exactly helped yesterday, we hardly created anything, it’s just our strikers aren’t clinical enough to finish the chances they do get.
